The Crunch of the McDonald's UAE McCrispy just got upgraded — now with a Spicy kick and a Deluxe twist!
The McCrispy just leveled up! After winning hearts (and appetites) across the UAE, McDonald's is bringing even more crunch to the table with two new burger variants, Spicy McCrispy and McCrispy Deluxe. Landing in restaurants on August 18, with early access available exclusively through the McDonald's App from August 11. Both burgers feature the same 100% chicken breast fillet and golden potato bun as savored in the original McCrispy burger, now paired with new twists. Perfect for the spice lovers, the Spicy McCrispy turns up the heat with Samurai sauce, delivering a bold, fiery kick. The McCrispy Deluxe offers an indulgent take, stacked with Emmental cheese, a fresh tomato slice, lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise, adding a decadent upgrade to the classic. Walid Fakih, CEO at McDonald's UAE, said: 'We're always looking for new ways to bring exciting flavors to our customers, while maintaining the quality and consistency expected from McDonald's UAE. The introduction of the Spicy McCrispy and McCrispy Deluxe reflects a continued commitment to variety and innovation, backed by the success and love of the original McCrispy.' Early access is available exclusively through the McDonald's App from August 11 to 17, with the burgers available in restaurants from August 18.

McDonald's posts better-than-expected sales as chicken strips, Minecraft meal drive traffic
Hot products like a 'Minecraft'-themed meal helped McDonald's turn around its sagging sales in the second quarter. The Chicago burger giant said Wednesday its revenue rose 5% to $6.8 billion in the April-June period. That was higher than the $6.7 billion Wall Street forecast, according analysts polled by FactSet. Same-store sales, or sales at locations open at least a year, jumped nearly 4%. Analysts had predicted a 1% decline. McDonald's shares rose 3% in premarket trading Wednesday. It was a far different story than the first quarter, when U.S. and global same-store sales slumped and McDonald's said lower- and middle-income consumers were cutting back on fast food. But a meal tied to 'A Minecraft Movie,' which was offered in 100 countries starting in April, drove customers back to stores. McDonald's said it sold out of its collectible figures in less than two weeks. McDonald's new McCrispy chicken strips also boosted customer traffic after they were added to the menu in May. Some rivals didn't fare as well in April-June period. Yum Brands, the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, reported lower-than-expected revenue on Tuesday and said KFC's same-store sales dropped 5% in the U.S. And last month, Chipotle lowered its full-year same-store sales guidance after a disappointing second quarter that saw same-store sales fall 4%. McDonald's net income rose 11% to $2.25 billion in the second quarter. Adjusted for restructuring charges and other one-time items, the company earned $3.14 per share. That was in line with Wall Street's forecast.
